Who We Help

Architects

We support Architects who want to bring inclusive services but aren't always able to enlarge their operation. We are capable of assisting projects over 50,000 SF that require a wide range of commissioning, specifically suitable for LEED projects.

Architects are increasingly expected to deliver not just beautiful, functional buildings — but high-performance, energy-efficient ones. The R Group serves as a trusted extension of your team, providing the specialized energy engineering expertise your clients demand without requiring you to expand your in-house staff.

With over 30 years of experience supporting design professionals, we understand the pace and precision that architectural projects require. From early design-phase energy modeling to LEED commissioning and third-party project management, we integrate seamlessly into your workflow and help you deliver projects that exceed energy performance expectations.

More value for your customers — without the paperwork burden

Who We Help

Contractors

Contractors are also capable of providing a modest fee to their clients as per the local convenience reduction with incentive preserved in their financial equation. We look after all the documentation work.

Contractors who install energy-efficient equipment — HVAC systems, lighting, building controls, and more — are in a prime position to offer their customers significant rebates and incentives from utility programs. The challenge is the paperwork: incentive applications are complex, time-consuming, and require specialized knowledge of utility program requirements.

The R Group handles all of that for you. We process the necessary paperwork, ensure your installations qualify for available incentives, and help you pass those savings on to your customers — making your bids more competitive and your customer relationships stronger. We also connect contractors with project financing options that remove the upfront cost barrier for customers who want to move forward with upgrades.
